Fairhope Plantation, Historic plantation district in Uniontown, Alabama.
The main house features Gothic Revival architecture with detailed bargeboards, hood moldings, octagonal brick chimneys, and a cast-iron veranda on three sides.
Built in 1857 for Joseph Selden from Virginia, the plantation included 80 slaves by 1860 and remained under Selden family ownership for over a century.
The architectural design draws from Alexander Jackson Davis's work published in Andrew Jackson Downing's Cottage Residences of 1842, influencing regional construction styles.
The plantation district contains seven buildings, with the main residence standing as a two-and-a-half-story wooden structure one mile east of Uniontown.
The property represents one of twenty remaining Gothic Revival residential structures in Alabama, joining notable examples like Waldwic and Ashe Cottage.
